Before the start of the war in Iraq, the Bush administration wrongly claimed that Iraq was an imminent threat to the USA and had weapons of mass destruction and that there was a link between Saddam and al-Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks in the USA. It has since been learned that those questionable reasons given to the American people to gain support for the war against Iraq, turned out to be false. There were no weapons of mass destruction, and no link between Saddam and al-Qaeda. Now the USA is fighting an unjustified, unnecessary war against Iraq, our soldiers, American civilian workers, and our coalition allies, etc, are being killed. There has been a scandal over the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners. A group of ingly perverted people in the U.S. military brought shame and disgrace to our country, they beat, sexually abused, took humiliating nude pornographic pictures, and also tortured and killed prisoners. A U.S. soldier even raped an Iraqi boy. That was such a dispicable perverted crime commited against that boy, it's sickening. The soldier or whoever it was that did it, someone should take a baseball bat and bust his head open. The USA is supposed to uphold itself up to higher standards than that. G W Bush has tried unsuccessfully to convince people that the war in Iraq is a part of the war against terrorism, like the war in Afghanistan. When Saddam was running Iraq he had the borders under control, and kept out the terrorists. That's not to say there weren't some terrorists there, there were probably a small number. Instead of lessening terrorism, Bush's war in Iraq has been a failure and caused terrorism to grow and spread. In Iraq where there were almost no terrorists, now they're flooding into that country. They want to kill as many U.S. and coalition soldiers, etc, as they can, and thwart the USA's plans for the future of Iraq.
